It's all exciting to me, but....

The weekends are when the real "high dollar" cars come out! In years past, this has meant the "true" classic cars -- 20's and 30's era foreign and domestic vehicles which, quite frankly, don't interest me all that much.

But this year's mix seems to be heavily weighted toward the Muscle Cars, so I would expect very pristine Hemi's, Corvette's, Cobra's, and the like to be auctioned-off over the weekend.

If you notice the cars that have come to auction so far, while they're nice, they tend to be "drivers" with a few nicks here and there, and an engine compartment or undercarriage that is somewhat less than pristine. Over the weekend you get the cars that only get pushed from the trailer to the parking spot at the car show and then back -- spotless, frame-off restorations that are done to "factory plus" specifications.

Seems like most of the restored cars paint job and all are much better quality than when they rolled out the factory.
